Gear Up for Germany's Punk Revolution 2025: Protest Camp 4.0 on Sylt
Potentially around 300 punk enthusiasts could initiate Protestcamp 4.0 on the island of Sylt. - Protesters Allowed up to 300 on Sylt's Camp 4.0 for Punks
Get ready to raise some hell, fellow rebels! The fourth summer in a row, punks from all corners of Germany will descend upon the luxurious island of Sylt for the epic Protest Camp 4.0, set to run from July 28 to August 17. Organized by the fearless collective "Aktion Sylt," this event will see up to 300 passionate fighters for change gather on the Festwiese in Tinnum, near Sylt Airport.
This year's gathering serves as a battle cry against the oppressive forces of capitalism and the socio-political bullies who hold power over us all. With the slogan "Capitalism Sucks. Protestcamp for a Connected Society – Speaking Out Against Racism, Classism, and the Rotting of Social States!," punks far and wide are banding together to put an end to economic exploitation and social injustices.
To ensure a disciplined and orderly uprising, the local authorities have imposed certain limitations on our rebellious gathering. A maximum of 300 comrades will call the Festwiese their temporary home, with easy-to-spot marshals (sporting white armbands or hi-vis vests) to keep us all in line. The content of any signs, flyers, flags, posters, or banners must not break any criminal laws or violate democratic principles, and any proposed demonstrations or gatherings must be registered beforehand with the local police and municipal authorities.
For the comfort and convenience of our fellow rebels, there will be a chemical toilet provided for every 15 individuals. The number of facilities will increase as needed to accommodate the crowd. In the spirit of community and self-reliance, punks will handle their own waste disposal, water, and electricity supply. Open fires, grilling, and pyrotechnics are strictly forbidden on the gathering grounds.
Punks can start setting up camp as early as July 27, with all waste on the meadow to be cleared up by August 18 and 19. Cooperation talks between "Aktion Sylt" and local authorities, police, and the assembly authority have been cooperative thus far.
Those interested in joining the rebellion can find more information on Instagram, where 'Aktion Sylt' has been drumming up excitement for the event for about two weeks. Workshops, discussions, and concerts are planned, so gather your allies and get ready to change the world, punks!
Up for a fight? The fourth summer battle against Capitalism on the rich and beautiful island of Sylt awaits! Remember the spirit of the nine-euro ticket last year when over 100 punks camped outside the town hall in Westerland and made national headlines? This is your chance to make history once again!
